Chapter 1167 Lyon vs Eternal Golem (Past III)
"Looks like we can't really live in the same sky!" Lyon's voice thundered, laced with an unrestrained fury that echoed across the battlefield.
"Then time to die!" The Eternal Golem's retort was cut short as Selena, descending from the sky, unleashed a torrent of sword hymns. The blades materialized with a brilliance that rivaled the sun, creating a dazzling display of lethal grace.
As the first sword hymn struck the Eternal Golem's neck, time seemed to momentarily freeze for him. From his perspective, a singular blade aimed directly at his glabella, an imminent threat that demanded his attention. Yet, for the onlookers, it was not just one sword – it was a legion, a cascade of blades standing in perfect formation, each awaiting its turn to strike.
The air crackled with tension as the sword hymns hurtled toward their colossal target. As time resumed its natural flow, the impact was felt – a barrage of celestial blades relentlessly assaulting the Eternal Golem. His massive frame staggered backward, forced to use his arm as an improvised shield against the onslaught.
The battlefield became a canvas of chaos and brilliance, with each sword hymn leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. The once invincible Eternal Golem found himself on the defensive, a testament to the combined might of Lyon and Selena. The symphony of blades and the enraged roars of Lyon painted a picture of defiance against an indomitable foe. n/-0VeLbIn
Seizing the opportunity, Lyon, now freed from the colossal axe that once constrained him, levitated in mid-air. The battlefield, recently ablaze with the brilliance of Selena's sword hymns, became the stage for Lyon's next move.
As the final echoes of the celestial onslaught faded, the results were unveiled. The concerted assault had not been in vain. The once-impenetrable defense of the Eternal Golem bore a visible mark – a significant crack marred its colossal arm. The flaw, a testament to the combined might of Lyon and Selena, stood as an emblem of defiance against an indomitable adversary.
Lyon, his eyes gleaming with a newfound determination, surveyed the battlefield below. The collective effort had weakened the Eternal Golem, providing a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dire situation. The resonance of swords still lingered in the air, a stark reminder of the celestial intervention that had momentarily shifted the tide of the battle.
Lyon's cocky smirk widened as he surveyed the battlefield below. The resolute efforts of his comrades against the overwhelming odds seemed inconsequential to him. The clash of swords, the rhythmic stomping of golems, and the shouts of warriors were mere background noise to Lyon's singular focus on the Eternal Golem.
The colossal adversary, undeterred by the barrage of sword hymns, still stood with an air of arrogance. The crack in its arm was a testament to Selena's prowess, a chink in the seemingly invincible armor. However, the Eternal Golem remained defiant, confident in the relentless stamina of its forces.
"Your men can't hold on forever, Torga!" bellowed the Eternal Golem, its voice resonating across the battlefield. "Their strength will wane, and when it does, I will crush you."
Lyon's response was a nonchalant wave of his hand, dismissing the notion with casual arrogance. "You underestimate my companions, Rocky. Their endurance matches their will. And as for you..." Lyon's gaze shifted back to the Eternal Golem, his eyes glinting with unwavering determination, "It's your time to fall."
The exchange of words echoed through the battlefield, a prelude to the imminent climax of the epic struggle between Lyon and the Eternal Golem. As Lyon hovered mid-air, surrounded by the remnants of the sword hymns, the fate of the Mortal World hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of victory or defeat.
The Eternal Golem's relentless charge echoed across the battlefield, its colossal form a force of destruction. Lyon, ever nimble, effortlessly danced around the attacks, dodging with a grace that defied the sheer difference in size. The cocky grin never left Lyon's face as he taunted the Eternal Golem.
As the Eternal Golem's hand approached the colossal axe, a sinister laughter accompanied the impending strike.
Lyon chuckled, "You really think smashing that axe will make a difference? I hate to break it to you, but I'm not your average adventurer."
The Eternal Golem, fueled by its malevolent determination, responded with a roar, "Your tricks won't save you forever, Torga! Prepare to witness the fall of your allies!"
"Well, looks like I've underestimated you," he muttered to himself, realizing the unintended consequences of his actions.
In the midst of the chaos, Graham, Cecile, and Liu fought desperately against the relentless onslaught of golems. Cecile, ever the pragmatic strategist, recognized the danger.
"Get ready, everyone! Brace for impact!" Cecile barked orders, preparing her comrades for the imminent catastrophe. They tightened their defenses, fully aware that the impending clash from Eternal Golem might unleash a cataclysmic event upon the battlefield.
Back in mid-air, Lyon, realizing the impending disaster, narrowed his eyes. "Well, it seems I underestimated the big guy. Time to intervene." Lyon dove towards the descending hand, determination etched on his face.
The Eternal Golem, fully committed to its destructive plan, showed no signs of relenting. The colossal axe was moments away from smashing the crowd, potentially altering the course of the battle in his favor. The battlefield teetered on the edge of calamity, and the outcome hinged on Lyon's ability to thwart the Golem's cunning strategy.
The colossal axe descended with an ominous presence, its shadow enveloping Cecile's face. The air seemed to shudder as the massive weapon bore down on her. In that critical moment, Cecile's eyes flashed with determination and resolve.
As the colossal axe approached, its trajectory threatening to unleash devastation upon Cecile and the ground below, a sudden surge of energy emanated from her.
"Time to unleash," Cecile declared with unyielding determination. Her eyes flared with a fierce light as she calculated the imminent danger and realized Lyon might not arrive in time to prevent the impending catastrophe. "Trident!!!"
The Eternal Golem, mid-laughter, was caught off guard as Trident intercepted the descending axe. The clash echoed with a thunderous roar, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. The radiant glow of Heaven's Prism emanated from the blade of Trident, showcasing its otherworldly power.
As the dust settled, the scene revealed itself – Cecile, standing tall with her trident, had single-handedly halted the colossal axe. Her auburn hair fluttered in the aftermath of the clash, and the radiant energy from the staff illuminated her determined expression.
The Eternal Golem, still gripping the axe, now faced an unexpected adversary. The adventurers, who had been propelled away by the shockwaves, looked on with a mix of awe and disbelief. Graham, Liu, and Selena recovering from the impact, exchanged glances, realizing that Cecile's intervention had potentially saved them from imminent disaster.
Cecile, maintaining her focus on the Eternal Golem, replied with steely determination, "We can't afford to let our guard down. We need to end this before more lives are at stake."
The battlefield, once shrouded in uncertainty, now held a renewed sense of hope as Cecile's unwavering resolve stood against the malevolent force of the Eternal Golem.
Liu, recovering from the impact that had thrown him back, marveled at Cecile's unwavering resolve. "Is that even possible? She's stopping that massive axe." ( "Note to self: Better not get her angry in the future")
"Woah ha! Alright!" Jan gave a thumb and a repeated nod.
Selena, with her typically cold and reserved demeanor, observed the unfolding scene with a subtle intensity. Her piercing gaze focused on Cecile, who stood resolute against the colossal axe. While Selena rarely expressed her emotions outwardly, there was a glint of acknowledgment in her eyes.
The Eternal Golem, now frustrated by the unexpected resistance, growled menacingly. "You insignificant humans, meddling with forces beyond your comprehension. This changes nothing!"
A young warrior from the adventurers marveled at the scene unfolding before them, "Did you see that? She stopped the Eternal Golem's axe! Cecile is a true legend!"
Another adventurer chimed in, "The War Maiden! That's what we should call her! Look at her strength!"
As word spread among the onlookers, the title "The War Maiden" began to circulate, capturing the essence of Cecile's remarkable feat. The moniker symbolized her strength, courage, and unwavering commitment to the battle against the Eternal Golem. It was a name that would be etched in the annals of Eldora's history, commemorating the moment when Cecile stood as a beacon of hope, defying the colossal threat that sought to engulf them all.
Lyon, floating mid-air, watched with a high-spirited grin as Cecile, with her trident held high, stood defiantly against the colossal axe of the Eternal Golem. His eyes sparkled with admiration and pride, witnessing the incredible strength and determination displayed by his companion. The scene below had turned into a spectacle of awe and inspiration.
"Way to go, War Maiden!" Lyon shouted with enthusiasm, his voice resonating through the battlefield. He marveled at Cecile's resilience and strength, acknowledging the impact she had on both the morale of their allies and the dismay of their foes. It was a moment that strengthened the camaraderie among the adventurers and fueled their determination to face the challenges posed by the Eternal Golem.
